Goals & Persevance
Lady-Yvonne
At the gym they have pictures on the walls that motivate you. Words like "GOALS", "PERSEVERANCE", "SUCCESS". You know that change happens, one step at a time, one thought at a time. They also have this poem posted. I thought I'd share it. It is quite a challenge to set this goal and persevere to live by it.
It is reported that Mother Theresa had this on her wall.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
...Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
...Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
...Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
...Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
...Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
...Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
...Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.
